Crikey Selects WordPress MU

Crikey — an independent media, arts, and politics news site in Australia — has launched a new blog network, Crikey Blogs. It’s a kick-arse WordPress MU-based platform, and the start of a new wave of Australian blogs.

Two of Australia’s most popular political bloggers have moved over to Crikey Blogs, as well as former Australian senator Andrew Bartlett, helping to bring blogging into view as a legitimate news form in Australia.

The Inquisitr featured some early coverage, and there’s sure to be more to come.
